I am sorry for what you are going through Ailing. I hope that things get better. I am sorry that your divorce is taking so long. I don't understand why... I hope things get settled so you can get on with your life.

Keep posting. We all care...

Hugs, Karen

Could you see a counselor? I have a link to a site that I will post for you.

I have heard that it has helped some members, so maybe it will help you too.

I really think you could use the help of a couselor too.  The members on here are helpful too.

Keep posting...

I hope that you feel better soon.  Crying is cleansing.  But I know you don't want to do it all the time.

Hugs, Karen

I'm so sorry for you honey, you sound like a good person. You need to ask to be transferred to another doctor if you feel this one is not providing the level of care you need. How old is your son? If he is under 5 you can benefit from Sure start. You can ask your health visitor for details. They will provide support for you, and there are groups for your son, all free. I really do hope things get better for you, take care. x

Ailing,

You seem quite isolated. Is there someone you can talk to in your native language, who you can pour out all your worries to?

Is there a social group for people of your origin? Nothing worse than trying to express intense emotions in another language.

Also antidepressants are all different - that is why there are so many of them. Some can be sedating and make you sleepy. Some can make you have high energy.

You might like to consider going back to your doctor and explaining that you stopped taking the medication because the side effects were worse than the illness.

There would be a drug option that would give you improved mood, energy and mental clarity. You are going through a stressful time and you are getting worn down because it has been going on for years.

You will get through it. My divorce took 8 years and I survived. My son's father is still awful but I don't have contact with him. Life does get better... and it will get better for you.

Just hang in there! And keep trying different things you think might help.

Cheers
